   Fab Gear draws heavily from the vaults of Pye Records and sister label Piccadilly, and focuses on the scene’s later gems from 1965/66, which were often musically superior to those earlier works.
   The six-CD box set offers around 180 tracks in chronological order from the mid-1960s, and includes many of the era’s biggest names such as The Kinks, The Moody Blues, The Searchers, Marmalade and The Tremeloes.
